BP Ultimate Adventure Team highlighted in Hungarian Baja
David Megre today completed the inaugural stage of the 20th edition of the Lower Hungary, scoring competition for the FIM Bajas World Cup in 3rd place after an animated duel with the accredited Czech driver, Jan Brabec, who is only 6s away. The BP Ultimate Adventure Team driver started by reaching the 2nd best time in the prologue, losing some time to his direct opponent in SS1 and again being faster than he in SS2. David Megre, who leads the European Championship, occupies the 2nd place in the World Cup of Bajas and in this Hungarian journey he currently occupies a better position than the leader of World Cup.
David Megre explains that “we started with a good prologue and then in the first special I decided to keep a calm and quiet ride because the piece had a lot of stone and we would be limited in the issue of tyres. If he accelerated what is normal after 50 km he no longer had a tire and they had to withstand the 200 km. For the 2nd sector I realized that the tire was going to hold because the special was cleaner of stones after passing the cars and I decided to attack. I finished second, I recovered time and I'm just 6s away from 2nd place. I think it will, but let's see how things go tomorrow. The bike is impeccable and the assistance has done a good job. It was a good race day,” says the driver who is racing in a Kawasaki.
The Baja da Hungary which has the city of Várpalota as headquarters competes tomorrow its final day of race where two selective sectors with 116 km will be competed. In total, about 615 km of which 445 are against the clock.
